Republicans emerged from hours of meetings without a consensus on who to elect as their next House speaker, leaving lawmakers without a clear path forward as they prepare to adjourn for a ninth day with the key position unfilled.

House Republicans are poised to meet for another closed-door meeting at 7:30 p.m. to continue to try and quash the opposition to Scalise and discuss a path forward. Scalise was nominated as the GOP speaker candidate after a closed-door meeting on Tuesday afternoon, emerging victorious in a 113-99 vote over Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan . Despite his win, several GOP lawmakers have come out in opposition to a Scalise speakership, vowing not to support the Louisiana Republican when the matter comes to the full floor for a vote.

The majority leader met with several GOP lawmakers throughout the day on Thursday in an effort to firm up more support among the conference, with Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart telling reporters progress has been made in support for Scalise.
